Maton Guitars

The Ultimate Stage Guitars!

Maton Guitars have a reputation as the best stage guitar one can own. Not only are they reliable and durable, but their pickup systems are world-class, and have been described by Tommy Emmanuel as "the most natural sounding pickup" he's ever heard. It's no surprise then that Maton is the choice of artists such as Christy Moore, Declan O'Rourke, Luka Bloom, Keith Urban, Eric Johnson, Derek Ryan, and many more, as well as being the top choice for fingerpicking guitarists like Tommy Emmanuel, Shane Hennessy, and Adam Rafferty.

Maton Artists

Tommy Emmanuel

Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia’s most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide.

Tommy’s unique style – he calls it simply “finger style” – is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that – and more – on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this “fingerpicker” style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel’s biggest fans.
